Old buildings, new site
A San Francisco website built for older buildings
Lithium Marketing turns a San Francisco contractor’s project photos and service list into a WordPress site customers can call from on their phones. The median San Francisco home was built in 1946, so if older buildings are your specialty, we show that experience through before-and-after photos and descriptions of the problems you solved.
The city’s housing is mixed, too. The Western Addition survived the 1906 earthquake with its Victorians largely intact, while South of Market is dotted with new skyscrapers, live-work lofts and condominiums. If you work in both kinds of building, sort the gallery by building type, so a Victorian owner and a condo owner each find a job like theirs within a tap or two.
From search to site
Give roofing and landscaping visitors a reason to call
“Landscaping san francisco” draws about 880 searches a month and “roofing company san francisco” about 720. For the visitors who reach your site through those searches, make the service easy to recognize: show a finished garden or roof, explain the work and keep the phone number visible without scrolling.
If you are comparing designers through “web design san francisco”, a phrase searched about 590 times a month, use one test on all of them: open their client sites on your phone and count the taps it takes to call.
| Search | Searches a month | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| web design san francisco | 590 | $23.29 |
| web designer san francisco | 590 | $23.29 |

Home values and housing age
High home values, older housing stock
With the median San Francisco home valued at $1,394,500, put the things that answer “can I trust them with my house?” near the top of every service page: your license, insurance, reviews and photos of finished work.
Only 8.0% of the city’s homes were built in 2010 or later, against 76.5% before 1980. If repairs and upgrades are the work you want, lead those service pages with an older-home project and explain what you found and how you fixed it.

Selling by trade
What remodelers and repair trades should put first
Residential remodelers are the biggest group on the San Francisco County chart, 534 of them. A remodeler’s site should give each project type its own page, such as kitchens, baths or additions, each showing finished jobs, plus a quote form that asks what the owner wants done and by when.
Repair trades sell differently. For the 162 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors in San Francisco County, the top of the home page should hold the phone number, the neighborhoods served and your service hours. Include same-day availability if you offer it, so someone with a leak knows when to call.

Kickoff to launch
Four stages, each with your sign-off
Copy, design and build each get your approval, and launch waits on a final round of tests on a real phone.
1
Pick the jobs worth showing
We go through your photos with you, choose the projects that best represent each service and building type, and draft the copy from a kickoff call.
2
Lay out each page on a phone
Mockups put the call button, the quote form and one strong project photo where a visitor looks first, then scale up to desktop.
3
Build on WordPress and wire tracking
The site goes up on WordPress with fast-loading pages, schema, GA4 and call tracking, all connected before launch.
4
Redirect, launch and train your team
Every old address that earns traffic points to its new page at launch, and a private Loom video shows your team how to post new projects.
What every Lithium website includes
The same eight parts go into every website build, wherever the business is.
- Sub-2.5-second mobile load
- Mobile-first conversion path
- A clear first screen
- SEO-ready architecture
- Google Business Profile alignment
- Real proof where it converts
- Tracking tied to revenue
- Accessible and AI-search ready
A plumber’s results
Built and marketed by Lithium: Sarkinen Plumbing’s website, Google Ads and SEO
The card covers a plumber outside San Francisco: Sarkinen Plumbing, a Portland-area company whose website, SEO and Google Ads were all Lithium projects. In the quote beside it, excavation contractor Dave Turin, who runs Dozer Dave, recommends DJ Van Zanten to anyone who needs help with a website and internet marketing.

FAQ
San Francisco website questions, start to launch
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
Which San Francisco sites end up priced above the typical build?
Larger sites get a fixed proposal after a discovery call. A service-business website typically costs $5,000; adding pages for many San Francisco districts or nearby cities means more writing and design. We settle the page list and price with you before the build starts.
Do I own the site, or am I renting it from Lithium?
It’s yours. We set up the domain, hosting and WordPress in your business’s name from the start, so leaving Lithium never means rebuilding the site or losing a page.
How long does a San Francisco website take to build?
Six to nine weeks from kickoff to launch is the usual range. Photos and approvals are the biggest variable: when your project pictures and feedback come back quickly, the build stays near the short end.
Can you work with our own job photos, or do we need a photographer?
Your own photos work, even ones taken on a phone, as long as they show finished work clearly. We pick the strongest few for each service and building type. If a service has no photos yet, its page launches with what you have and you add projects in WordPress as you finish them.
What does the optional $99 a month plan cover after launch?
Hosting on a private high-speed server, daily backups, software and security updates and basic website changes. It is optional, and you can host the site elsewhere and still edit it in WordPress, but most clients choose it so the upkeep doesn’t fall on them.
